Rooting and adding a custom recovery for flashing ROMs and kernels could not be easier than on a Nexus.
Should add that Nexus phones are factory SIM unlocked which can come in handy.

To further display my ignorance, what does rooting actually accomplish (or mean, for that matter), and is it something you can do on the phone, or do you need to do on your computer? (I'm on a macbook)
